I really enjoyed my meal here. The flatbreads were good and just about the perfect portion for 1 adult to eat as a meal. The creme brulee was great and the budino was ok. The star of the night was the smoked old fashioned it was so good. The service was great too.

Came for early Tuesday dinner. Ate at bar: french onion soup, margherita flatbread and glass of pessimist. Really great.

Loved the avocado toast, didn’t expect the portion sizes to satisfy the way they did! Pleasantly surprised

My wife and I used to come here regularly prior to the pandemic. We decided to go there once again after doing some Old Town Christmas shopping for their delicious mussels. Unfortunately, we learned that they no longer have the mussels as a meal – but only as an appetizer. We ordered a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses that were delicious. My wife ordered the mushroom pizza and I ordered the appetizer portion of the mussels. The ambience was great, the drinks were delicious, with only a few customers (perhaps the time of year was a factor but previously we had to wait for seating). Everything was great until we received the main meals. My mussel dish had a rather watered down white wine sauce. My third mussel was bad, not somewhat off but … bad! I put it to the side and tried another one which was OK and chalked it up to a one-off. Then I got another bad one and I stopped, spit it out as well and talked to the waiter. She was nice, courteous, and offered to take it off the bill which she did. What is more surprising is that she didn’t seem surprised at the least and merely mentioned that the Tasting Room is under new management. I got the distinct impression that this has happened before. I’ve never had a bad meal there before. My wife also mentioned that her pizza was rather oily and bland. I was disappointed with the quality. If the new management is a factor, then I highly recommend that they go back to what used to work. We will try it again before we write off what has always been a great meal at the Tasting Room.

We had mussels and the were decent. Service was apathetic and slow. Cocktails were decent but extremely overpriced. 4 drinks and 1 app should not cost over $100, even for Old Town. The place has a cute vibe but we were the only people there. Will not return due to the price

the food was so bad. i got the mushroom pizza, maybe today was just a bad day but it was not good to me! not enough sauce, not enough flavor period. all i could taste was the dirt of the mushroom. 2/10. I also got the cocotini…. abismal. top 10 worst cocktails i’ve ever had. 2/10. line of the rose was a lot better! you can taste the bourbon, but not too much. good balance of strength and sweetness! lastly the arugula salad, probably the only highlight of the day. dressing was actually pretty good, and i liked the oranges. added a refreshing zest and balanced the bitterness of the arugula. service was friendly! though they didn’t do anything to accommodate my dissatisfaction. food and drinks were not very good sadly. and after working a double shift and overnight, i just wanted a good meal so this was super disappointing.
